Amherst (7-0) gave up single digit points in the second, third, and fourth periods and forced 17 turnovers in the game. Cam Hendricks led the way for Amherst with 18 points and 11 rebounds. She shot a perfect 4-4 from outside and finished 7-8 from the field.

Hendricks found her stroke with back to back threes, and the Mammoths led after the first period 15-13. She started the next period with another triple, and the Mammoths outscored the Bears 26-2 in the second quarter, not allowing Bridgewater to score until just over a minute remained in the half.
